Waufle, the former New York Giants defensive line coach who helped guide the team to a Super Bowl XLII victory, announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday.

“I was in constant pain on a daily basis — both knees, foot, back, ankle. All those things added up from my playing days,” Waufle told The Evening Tribune.

Although Waufle spent only one season with his hometown Buffalo Bills in 2017, his name will forever be associated with the team that finally ended a 17-year playoff drought.

Waufle broke into the NFL in 1998 with the Oakland Raiders, where he’d remain through the 2003 season. In 2004, he’d join the Giants under Tom Coughlin and stick with Big Blue through the 2009 season. From there, it was back to Oakland for two seasons (2010-2011), off to the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2012-2016) and then one final stop with the aforementioned Bills.
